UWS Foundation Academy in Central Scotland

Lodged by Meghan Gallacher (Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party) Standard Motion 30 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament recognises the University of the West of Scotland (UWS) Foundation Academy; considers that this is an innovative widening access initiative that supports young people across the west and south of Scotland to access higher education; notes that the Foundation Academy was launched in 2022 and focuses on addressing the reported lower progress rates to higher education; further notes that, since its launch, the initiative has enrolled over 1,000 senior pupils from more than 30 schools, and understands that, in the Central Scotland region, a total of 370 pupils are participating in the 2024-25 cohort, which, it believes, is creating a greater regional impact.
